Welcome to Driver!
With your car running after it's warmed up is there moisture dripping from your exhaust? White smoke generally means a blown head gasket! Check your oil for water and your radiator fluid for oil. Hope this gives you some idea of what's causing the white smoke...Gary

White smoke = coolant, blue smoke = oil.

Check your exhaust pipes for black reside and also check your oil levels regularly.

Might as well get a new motor, that's how expensive.

And 99 cents.

Thanks for the information up date! So did you check your tail pipe for water? It could still be a blown head gasket if there's water in your oil! If you're not going to take our advice why post here? Go to the SoCal page, at the top there's a list of "Recommended shops" in your area. Those shops wouldn't be there if they didn't do excellent work. Stay away from the Stealerships unless you have extremely deep pockets!

You don't have drums. You have rotors. And not that bad. They just ruin the pads

As I'm sure you've been told, white smoke it's coolant.
And the fuel smell means an intake manifold or head gasket is to blame.
If it's a leak somewhere in the manifold, no sweat. New intake and your done.
If it's the gasket, new motor. Not because there's even anything wrong w the motor
per say. It could be a $50 head gaskets fault. But if you dig into a motor that far,
you might as well rebuild.

But think of it like this. How great would your peace of mind be with a rebuilt motor? Pretty great right ? So I hope it's the cheap one but if not, that new motor will always be cheaper than buying another car comparable to the G.
